- $150 (clothing merchandise)
- $1500 (set of tires)
- $400 (2 days insurance)
- $160 (fuel)
- $720 (instructors assuming 0.3 instructors per student for 16 hours at $150 per hour)
= a loss of $675

And this isn't including track rental, vehicle rental or maintenance.
Listen, I'm not saying it's a bad deal. And at the end of the day, someone has to make money, and that someone is BMW so there will be a hefty price tag. I was just providing another perspective that's all. If a person wants to take the time to learn and join BMWCCA, they can have somewhat similar experience from a technical perspective (minus the accommodation, treatment, and goodies) that's all.
